EQUIPMENTS AND SYSTEMS FOR LOADING LIQUIDS AND REFUELING SYSTEMS, a type of PROCESS PACKAGES.
Equipments and Systems for Loading Liquids and Refueling Systems are a type of Process Packages.
Stockpile and logistics equipment are typical of logistics operations and include items such as forklifts, stackers, pallet movers, and scissor lifts, together with other specialized logistics equipment. Earthmoving equipment, such as front or pay loaders, is treated separately, as it belongs to a different classification.
Hoists and cranes cover equipment used in plant and port operations, as well as cranes applied to construction activities. Suppliers tend to specialize in specific crane types, such as bridge cranes. Heavy lifting equipment is used to raise very heavy loads for construction and engineering purposes and can be delivered through different solutions, including jacks, skidding systems, or special cranes.
At a conceptual level, handling systems can be divided into continuous and discrete processes. Continuous handling is typically carried out using conveyors or belts, while discrete handling relies on equipment such as hoists, cranes, and elevators. Within these two broad approaches, there is a wide range of products and suppliers.
Conveyor technologies vary depending on the type of material being handled; for example, pipe conveyors are commonly used for powders and other materials that behave in a similar manner to liquids. Elevators are mainly divided into two types, based on different technologies and usually supplied by different vendors: rack and pinion systems and traction systems.
